A Firm Foundation





Check out the new full floor pan that runs from rocker panel to rocker panel and front to rear! This mustang is SOLID! Now it's time to smooth out the welds and prepare for paint!

Introducing the Mustang Pedal Car!




Well, there used to be floor pans in there somewhere!  Seriously, this is just the next step in the restoration.  The leak I mentioned previously did a number over the years and rusted out a considerable amount of the pans.  We could have cut and welded each side individually, but it would have left too many welds all over the place. Better to replace the entire floor with a new one that has the integrated tunnel. It's stronger, less labor and will have a much cleaner appearance.  In the photos above, you can just make out some of the reinforcing bars and jig keeping the car square and true.  Next week, we will start the reassembly, I promise!
